:: RT: ▶ Have you ever asked your child "How was your day at school?" http://goo.gl/jpCQcl only to have them say "Fine." -- end of conversation? | #education #pedagogy #society #lifestyle

It's a situation that most parents have found themselves in and why this application was created. Each weekday Talk2Kids displays a new question to ask your child ... questions that they will want to answer! As you ask your children these questions in your own personal voice and then listen attentively to their replies you will lay the foundation for healthy daily communication - not just about school but about their own personal lives. Before you know it, you won't need the questions anymore as you continue building a solid relationship with your child. But you may still want to use them for a resource for topics to talk about.
